You're my woman. Who else can you treat better than me?!
"Today." Little Yu was confused by my question. He scratched his eyebrows and asked: "Why? Didn't he tell you?"
Afraid that I would be exposed, I hastily smiled. "Oh, I told you that I forgot."
"Sis, when will you and brother-in-law come to see me? I miss you guys. " A look of anticipation appeared in Little Yu's eyes.
I forcefully suppressed my heartache. "Your brother-in-law and I have been a bit busy lately. We'll talk about it later."
Little Yu curled his lips helplessly, "Alright then. However, even if you guys are busy, you should still pay attention to your bodies. "
I nodded. "I understand. You should pay more attention to your body and buy whatever you want to eat. Don't save up." He pointed to the coffee he was drinking, "But drink less of this unhealthy stuff and eat more nutritious ones. I'll give you some more money tomorrow. "
"No need, Brother-in-law already gave it to me."
I was stunned again. I smiled awkwardly. "That's right. That's good."
I didn't know when Di Jin came back, but when I finished bathing and went downstairs to get some water to drink, I saw that he was standing in front of the living room window talking on the phone, his mouth full of French that I didn't understand.
Maybe he was too preoccupied to notice me coming down and continuing to talk to the person on the phone. The corners of his mouth curled up in a smile, but his expression was so sinister that I shivered and kicked at the flower stand.
Hearing the sound, Di Jin turned his head, looked at me, and spoke to the person on the phone again before hanging up.
"Why aren't you asleep yet?" He came towards me, his face now soft, his smile not a smile, but a genuine pleasure.
I quickly calmed my mind and walked to the kitchen counter. "I'm thirsty. Come down and drink some water."
He grabbed the glass in front of me, turned on the water purifier, and poured me a glass of water.
"Thank you." I took it, took a sip, and pretended to ask, "Where did you go?"
Di Jin put one hand in his pocket and leaned on the kitchen counter, smiling at me without saying a word.
Seeing that he didn't want to say it, I curled my lips and smiled indifferently. "It's fine if you don't want to say it." He put down the cup and prepared to go upstairs.
The instant I turned around, Di Jin's voice slipped into my ears, "Lisa, if one day Lou Shaotang and I were to encounter danger at the same time, who would you save?"
My heart stops and I turn to look at him.
The smile on Di Jin's face had already disappeared. He moved his tongue to his mouth and stared at me.
I don't understand why he suddenly asked this question, and why his expression and voice were so serious.
Lou Shaotang was in danger, what danger?
"Why do you ask?" I stared at him, my heart pounding.
"Don't worry, it's just a hypothesis." Seeing my nervousness, Di Jin smiled and said.
My answer was obvious.
As he had expected, Di Jin laughed and nodded. From this smile, I could see a bit of self-mockery and a bit of bitterness.
"Let's go up and sleep. It's getting late." When I didn't move, he said, his smile softening, his voice full of concern.
I looked at him for another two seconds, then turned and went upstairs. There was a sound of running water behind me, and I guessed he was washing the glass I had just drunk.
Lying in bed, tossing and turning, I couldn't sleep, so I put on my coat and went out on the balcony to look out at the tall building in the distance.
That was the South of the City Apartments.
Following the count in my heart, my line of sight shifted to the 21st floor. Seeing that the floor was lit, I was slightly surprised.
Just as this thought popped up in his mind, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
He took it out and saw that it was a WeChat from Lou Shaotang.
His heart was stifled and he clicked on it.
It was a picture.
I click Magnify, and I'm stunned.
Under the night sky, the tiny figure that was standing on the balcony of Di Jin's villa was me.
In other words, Lou Shaotang was also standing on the balcony of the apartment building and looking in my direction.
Tears welled in my eyes, and I gripped the phone tightly as I looked up at the apartment again.
The orange light was blurred by the tears. I couldn't see Lou Shaotang, couldn't see him, couldn't see anything.
"Clank ~ ~ ~"
The metallic sound of the valve opening drew me back from the deep sadness and the choking emotion. I wiped away my tears and looked down into the garden.
Di Jin was dragging the water pipe towards the tulips flower garden, he then raised his water gun and pressed on the switch, causing the blooming tulips to instantly be covered with a layer of crystal clear water droplets.
He didn't know if it was because of the light from the observation lamp or because of something, but his expression seemed especially gloomy and depressing. His hands were moving left and right, but his gaze towards Tulip was dull and unfocused.
Today he gave me an indescribable feeling, like he wasn't like him.
I looked up at the apartment again.
The lights went out.
Forcing a sigh, I turned and went back to my room.
Never in my dreams did I expect that the place Di Jin said he was going to take me to was the empty land he wanted to give me back then, but I rejected him.
Now that the open space was not an empty area, it was covered with plants, and the large "Ya Yan" Logo standing on top of the plant was dazzling in the sunlight.
"I've already bought three of the latest production lines from France. The day after tomorrow, if you're quick, you can officially start production next week."
Di Jin's cheerful voice, which was accompanied by the gentle breeze, entered my ears. I recovered from my shock and turned to look at him.
He had his hands in his pockets and was smiling at the factory as if the sad man who had sprinkled Tulip with water the night before was just an image from my dream.
"Besides, I bought you ten shops on the best commercial street in Paris, and I'll keep them for later when the Ya Yan opens its stores in France, or if your brother wants to open a dessert shop."
Hearing his last sentence, I was completely stunned. He had never seen Little Yu before, but he had actually planned into Little Yu's future as well!
His calm heart stirred.
"Oh yes, do you want the 'Ya Yan' to go on the market? "If you want, I …"
"Di Jin." Suppressing the agitation in his heart, I interrupted his thoughts about the future development of the "Ya Yan".
Di Jin turned his head, his long eyelashes shining with bright light, "What's wrong?" The corner of his mouth curled up into a gentle smile.
"Di Jin, you …" Even though I had already tried my best to calm my emotions, I was still unable to say a single word calmly and completely. He took a deep breath and stayed silent for a few more seconds before saying, "Di Jin, you don't have to be so good to me."
The smile on Di Jin's face widened, "You are my woman, who else can I treat better?"
He said it as a matter of course, but I didn't feel so good about it, not because I didn't like it, but because it wasn't worth it. Because his efforts were destined to be unrewarded, even though he really was very good to me.
In the days I lived here, cooking and washing dishes and washing clothes, he never let me move a finger. Knowing that I liked Tulip, and knowing that I was in the habit of practicing yoga, he converted the two rooms on the third floor into a yoga room, and the other room into a video room for me to watch.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't touched at all. However, my heart is a single room, already living alone, others can no longer enter. One day, I will have to leave him and return to Lou Shaotang's side.
I am Lou Shaotang's woman, not his.
"It's really not necessary. I won't accept this factory, and I won't go to France. "In short, don't you act arbitrarily in the future."
Di Jin's smile congealed at the corner of his mouth, and he looked at me with his mouth agape. I saw a hint of disappointment in his eyes, but it was very brief. "No," he said. After tidying my hair that was blown by the wind, I looked at my watch. "Let's go. I have a friend to eat with."
"Then I'll go back to the company."
"No need, let's go together. You know that person as well."
"Me too?" I have never met any of Di Jin's friends, how would I know them?!
"Who?" I asked.
Di Jin pursed his lips, smiling meaningfully, "We'll know once we get there."
I didn't want to go, but it piqued my curiosity to hear him say so, and so I didn't refuse.
Di Jin and his friend had invited us to a French restaurant that I liked. Upon entering the restaurant, the waiter saw that we were all bowing towards him with great respect. was not surprised at all, it was as if he had always accepted this kind of noble treatment.
Walking to a certain Bao Xiangmen, he wrapped his arm tightly around my waist.
Startled, I instinctively tried to push him.
When I thought about how I had already rejected his good intentions, I decided not to struggle anymore.
The waiter opened up Bao Xiangmen and Di Jin led me in. When I saw the person who was sitting on the broad leather sofa and smoking, I was so shocked that my steps immediately froze on the spot. The polite smile that I had prepared beforehand froze on my face.
